1
Yeah, I'm so proud of how I've done this Olympics.
2
I joke, I'm not a betting woman,
3
but if I were, I took a big gamble this time
4
because I chose to do three events knowing that I hadn't trained halfpipe in two months,
5
knowing that I would miss the halfpipe training because in case I made big air finals,
6
which I also hadn't competed in in four years, mind you.
7
And so being able to really trust myself that when it came down to the moment,
8
I would be able to perform to the best of my ability regardless of metal color or metal in general.
9
But that's a big bet.
10
And also just the difficulty of competing in three events,
11
making finals in three events,
12
I had to compete six times.
13
And I kind of liken it to a marathon but the pace of a hundred meter dash.
14
Because every day is the Olympics.
15
I have to give 100% every day.
16
So there's no day that I can just chill a little because every day matters.
17
So I guess what I mean to say with
18
that is I have done something that I took a big risk in trusting myself and I'm glad that I did.
19
I walk away as the most decorated free skier of all time, male or female.
20
I have the most gold medals of any free skier ever, male or female.
21
And that is something that I'm so, so proud of.
22
It's unbelievable to me.
23
It's still surreal.
24
And so I appreciate all the people who support me and who hopefully take up free skiing maybe because of me,
25
or at least maybe heard about free skiing for the first time,
26
that those are the people who I do it for.
27
Otherwise, I just encourage people to use that energy
28
and direct it to something that makes the world better in their own way.
29
I think I'm making the most amount of good with the powers that I have as a 22-year-old athlete,
30
and I think in this way I'm benefiting the most people.
31
If people disagree with me,
32
if they have other skill sets,
33
which I'm sure they do,
34
then I encourage them to direct it elsewhere and to make the world better in their own way.
35
As young women, I think it is easy to doubt.
36
And I mean this as in like instilled,
37
you know, self instilled self doubt,
38
but also maybe external subtleties and like little micro things
39
that make you doubt yourself and over time make you afraid to try.
40
That's why we see rates of young women participating in sports drop off precipitously between the ages of 11 and 14.
41
And so as far as trusting yourself,
42
the power of sport is unparalleled because it is evidence over affirmation.
43
It's, you don't tell yourself,
44
oh, I can handle the pressure, oh, I'm so great.
45
You do it, time and again.
46
And another thing, you know,
47
I said this earlier in an interview,
48
I said sports are really honest because you can't lie to yourself.
49
You know when you stayed late and other people weren't there.
50
You know when you showed up early and other people weren't there.
51
You know when you gave 100% in training day in,
52
day out for months, for months.
53
And so it's not about,
54
you know, at the last second I tell myself a chipper little line and call it a day.
55
It's the fact that I look back on quite literally years,
56
like decade of hard work,
57
of pouring my heart and soul into this sport.
58
And so it's, yeah, it's trusting myself,
59
but it's building that trust every day.
60
And so that's a big reason why I encourage more young girls to get into sports,
61
because I think that the power it has to build and instill that confidence in people
62
is a really special and unique form.
63
Oh yeah, I guess I didn't answer the second question.
64
So it's Fashion Week in Milan,
65
so I have the other job, the other fashion thing.
66
No, no, I'm really excited to just explore some other avenues,
67
be creative, and explore my femininity through fashion,
68
which is something I've always loved,
69
and to kind of put that in juxtaposition with skiing and with sports,
70
and I think that they can coexist so beautifully,
71
And so I hope to represent that next week in Milan.
72
A big thing is I'm not afraid to try.
73
I take big risks and for the last two Olympics, it's worked out.
74
But even if it hadn't,
75
I think I left nothing on the table.
76
Like I know that looking back at this Olympics and the months that preceded it,
77
there's quite literally nothing that I could have done more.
78
Like I did everything I could every single day,
79
every single thing that I could.
80
Like, if you can think of something,
81
like, oh, I should do this now, I've done it.
82
I have done every single thing I could possibly do for this Olympics.
83
And so, it's like if things didn't go my way,
84
I wouldn't regret feeling unprepared.
85
I wouldn't regret feeling like I could have done more.
86
And so that, I also think,
87
instills a bit of confidence in you,
88
because you can never control the result,
89
you can never control the outcome,
90
but you can control the preparation,
91
and most importantly, you can fall in love with the process.
92
I'm so proud of you.
93
I'm very happy.
94
I always say that I have a medal in the prize,
95
a medal in the prize.
96
It's very difficult.
97
So, I have a medal in the prize.
98
It's just six times, 100% of the prize.
99
This is a challenge for me.
100
I don't want to say that.
101
I think I can't say that.
102
I can only control my day every day.
103
Then I liked it later in a bunch of the games where they probably come from the seventh championship.
104
In this series we começa
105
because of what I think there is a lot of camp
106
From each other I think they are at by turning around to watch our game which I think is important.
107
I make reviews for the world and also support the Chinese?
108
Brad Manfeya first and again to share the content that works like the G pleas.
109
The G漂亮!
110
Thank you, Charlotte.
111
That's very kind.
112
Oh, man.
113
Do I think?
114
I think overall I'm just a pensive person.
115
Like, I'm a very introspective I'm an introspective young woman like I spend a lot of time in my head
116
And it's not a bad place to be I journal a lot.
117
I break down all of my thought processes I think I apply a very analytical lens to my own thinking
118
and I kind of modify it Because it's so interesting you can control what you think
119
Like you can control how you think
120
and therefore you can control who you are and especially as a young person like I'm 22 too.
121
So with neuroplasticity on my side,
122
I can literally become exactly who I want to be.
123
How cool is that?
124
Like how empowering is that?
125
Right?
126
And so the fact is I get to become every day the kind of person that me at age eight would revere.
127
Like I would be obsessed with me today.
128
Are you kidding?
129
I would love me.
130
And I think that's the biggest flex of all time
131
that you can have like little younger you be proud of you today.
132
And so I guess for me,
133
it's like, yes, I spend a lot of time in my own head.
134
Yes, I think a lot,
135
but it's not really like in an egotistical kind of way.
136
It's in like a tinkering,
137
like a scientist kind of way.
138
I'm always trying to modify.
139
I'm trying to think how can I be better?
140
How can I approach my own brain the way that I approach my craft of free skiing
141
so that I can be better tomorrow than I was today?
142
Yeah, I think for me,
143
global beneficial impact is like my central theme.
144
And there are a lot of different avenues that anybody can do that.
145
And I think it's more assessing your individual skillset and trying to say,
146
okay, what is the way that I can,
147
as a person, do the most good in the world.
148
So right now, I'm young,
149
I'm energetic, my body is physically as capable as it can be compared to 30 years down the line.
150
So it makes the most sense for me to do that through the avenues that I'm exploring now,
151
fashion, sport, and skiing.
152
Down the line, I think it will absolutely take a different form.
153
Yeah, I think as I age and as I grow,
154
and the avenue of highest optimization will change will change.
155
I'm not going to be too specific in answering that because I don't want to commit myself to something,
156
but do I have ideas?
157
Yes, absolutely.
158
So when I had this press conference four years ago,
159
a lot of it was theoretical.
160
I say, I want to inspire more girls to try skiing.
161
I don't even need to do that anymore because now we can just look at the numbers.
162
350 million people tried snow sports for the first time.
163
There's double-digit increase growth in the industry,
164
both in terms of snow sport impressions,
165
in terms of sponsorships, money in the sport.
166
This is huge because it's not just about,
167
okay, it is about there's people in China,
168
there are kids in China,
169
there are girls in China whose lives are going to be touched by the beautiful and wonderful power of sport.
170
So that in and of itself is absolutely measured impact that I think I had always wanted.
171
I reached that goal and I exceeded it.
172
The second thing is within the the ski industry,
173
there are more eyes on this sport than there were four years ago.
174
There are more people paying attention to it now.
175
The fact is a rising tide raises all boats.
176
And so this is also good for every other athlete competing,
177
regardless of what country you compete for.
178
And so that kind of mentality of,
179
I want to bring the sport to more people,
180
to hopefully benefit people outside the sport,
181
and also be able to give back to my own community,
182
free skiing, and everybody who partakes in it now.
183
As a competitor, I don't want to generalize,
184
but as a competitor myself,
185
I think we yearn, the thing we yearn for most is a worthy opponent.
186
I think there's something so beautiful in that.
187
It's not about beating other people,
188
but it's about this sense of healthy competition.
189
That's what sportsmanship is.
190
That's what the Olympics are about.
191
If I went to a middle school and beat everybody at free skiing there,
192
it's not exciting for anybody.
193
What's exciting is that year after year,
194
we get to see the progression of a sport as the average of everybody
195
and everybody's average rises and we all get better.
196
And maybe the people at the top are contributing a little bit more,
197
but everybody is contributing to that growth.
198
And that's something that's really special to me.
199
So do I welcome that?
200
Yeah, absolutely.
201
I mean, I love to compete.
202
I love to compete.
203
I love to win, but I love to compete and I love to ski.
204
And so if I were to put that in order,
205
I would say I love to ski first and then I love to compete and then I love to win.
206
But at my heart and soul, I like to ski.
207
Yeah.
208
And then I know you said that was the last question,
209
but I just want to say something really quickly.
210
The reason I was late is that I just found out that my grandma passed away.
211
And she was like a really,
212
she was a really big part of my life growing up.
213
And someone I looked up to immensely.
214
She was such a strong, she was a fighter.
215
And I think what's so interesting is that a lot of people just cruise through life.
216
But she was a steamship.
217
Like this woman commanded life.
218
And she grabbed it by the reins.
219
And she made it into what she wanted it to be.
220
and she inspired me so much.
221
The last time I saw her,
222
before I came to the Olympics,
223
she was very sick, so I knew that this was a possibility.
224
I didn't promise her that I was going to win,
225
but I did promise her that I was going to be brave.
226
She has been brave, and that's why I keep referring to this theme of betting on myself
227
and being brave and taking risks.
228
It actually goes back to that promise that I made my grandma,
229
and so I'm really happy that I was able to uphold that and hopefully do her proud,
230
but it's also a really difficult time for me now So I really apologize for being late,
231
but that's what was going on.
232
Sorry.
233
Guo Zhengfeng.
234
Yeah, that's my middle name, Feng, for her.
235
Guo Eling, Sheshe for sharing your emotions with us.
236
That's all what we have for today.
237
Thanks for attending on-site or online.
238
And these are the last words from Livinio Snowpark press conference room.
239
Stop the live stream now.

Warum sprechen mit diesem Video üben?
Das Reden ist eine Schlüsselkomponente beim Englisch sprechen üben. Das Video von Gu Ailing, in dem sie über ihre Erfahrungen bei den Olympischen Spielen spricht, bietet eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit, die eigene Sprechfähigkeit zu verbessern. Sie teilt persönliche Gedanken über Selbstvertrauen, Risikobereitschaft und die Kraft des Sports, was nicht nur motivierend ist, sondern auch relevante Vokabeln und Satzstrukturen bietet. Englisch lernen mit YouTube ermöglicht es Ihnen, nicht nur die Sprache selbst, sondern auch kulturelle Nuancen zu erfassen, die in Gesprächen wichtig sind. Durch das Nachahmen ihrer Worte können Lernende ein besseres Gefühl für den natürlichen Sprachfluss entwickeln und Selbstbewusstsein beim Sprechen aufbauen.
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
In Gu Ailings Rede finden sich mehrere bedeutende Sprachstrukturen, die für Englischlerner nützlich sind:
- „I have done something that I took a big risk in trusting myself“: Dies ist ein Beispiel für die Verwendung des Present Perfect, das oft für vergangene Handlungen genutzt wird, die Auswirkungen auf die Gegenwart haben.
- „I liken it to a marathon but the pace of a hundred meter dash“: Hier wird eine Vergleichsstruktur verwendet, die das Verständnis für Metaphern verbessert.
- „I encourage them to direct it elsewhere“: Die Verwendung des Imperial-Formulars in dieser Struktur hilft, den höflichen und einladenden Ton zu verstehen, den viele Sprecher verwenden, wenn sie Ratschläge geben.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
Bei Gu Ailing finden wir einige Wörter und Ausdrücke, die für Nicht-Muttersprachler herausfordernd sein können:
- „Olympics“: Die Betonung liegt auf der zweiten Silbe, und es ist wichtig, das „o“ als kurzen Laut auszusprechen.
- „self-doubt“: Diese Kombination kann zungenbrecherisch sein. Achten Sie auf die Verbindung zwischen den Worten und die Betonung auf der ersten Silbe.
- „unbelievable“: Hier ist die Betonung wichtig; die korrekte Aussprache kann durch shadowspeak verbessert werden, indem man die Silben klar trennt.
Durch das gezielte Üben dieser Wörter im Rahmen von Englisch Shadowing können Lernende ihre Aussprache und ihr Hörverständnis stark verbessern, sodass sie sich sicherer und flüssiger ausdrücken können.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
